How to Make Homemade Applesauce
- Peel, core, and chop 4 pounds of apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix).
- In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
- Stir in 10-15 red hots candies (cinnamon hearts). The number depends on your desired level of spice and color. If using larger candies, chop into smaller pieces.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- For a smoother applesauce, use an immersion blender or carefully transfer the applesauce to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as needed. Serve warm or chilled.
